AION 2 Server Transfer

NCSoft's free character transfer for AION 2 — one move per account, same faction and region only, and it can't be undone. Dates, daily hours, eligibility checklist and exactly what travels with you.

First transfer free Launch servers: Oct 20/21 - Oct 27/28 Cannot be reversed 1 per account
ⓘ

Short version: the first transfer is free and covers every character you move — but you only get one per account, to a server of your own faction in your own region. Launch-server transfers close with the October 27 (PDT) / October 28 (CET) maintenance, so don't wait for the last day.

Transfer windows

Two one-week periods. Which one applies depends on where your characters live.

Caps apply both ways: every server limits how many characters can leave and how many can arrive, updated hourly. Popular routes can close early — or permanently if demand is extreme.

How to transfer

  1. 1
    Stand in a village

    Safe Haven or Nornir Assembly — not the Abyss, a Spacetime Rift or a dungeon.

  2. 2
    Open the cash shop

    Go to the Server Transfer section — it lists every eligible character on your account.

  3. 3
    Pick the destination server

    Same faction, same region, same server type (Early Access ↔ Early Access, launch ↔ launch). Red entries mean creation is restricted or you're outside the daily hours.

  4. 4
    Select the characters

    You can move the whole roster in one go — remember, it's one transfer per account total.

  5. 5
    Choose Genus Insight progress

    Keep either the current server's or the destination's progress — pick whichever is further along.

  6. 6
    Confirm and wait

    The game kicks you to the title screen and locks the account until it finishes (a minute or more under load). PURPLE pings you when it's done.

Before you press the button

Every moving character must clear this checklist or the purchase button stays grey.

  1. ✓
    Level 10+

    Below that, the character can't transfer.

  2. ✓
    Leave your Legion

    No Legion membership, no pending application — and no active Duty missions.

  3. ✓
    Empty the Market

    Nothing listed, nothing to collect, no sale proceeds waiting.

  4. ✓
    Empty Shop Storage and mail

    Founder's Pack items included; claim all mail on the moving character.

⚠

Server Storage does not move — and neither does the Kina in it. Put anything you want to keep into the character's inventory or Character Storage before you transfer.

FAQ

Is the AION 2 server transfer free?

Yes — this first round is free for the transfer and every character you move. You only pay 1,000 Quna per extra character slot if the destination is full.

Can I transfer to a different faction or region?

No. Same faction and same region only, and Early Access servers can't receive launch-server characters (or vice versa).

Can I cancel a transfer?

No — once it goes through it cannot be undone. Agree on a destination with your group before anyone moves.

Do I even need to transfer to play with friends?

Maybe not. Expedition and Transcendence matchmake across servers, so dungeon groups already work cross-server.
